President: Franklin D. Roosevelt

- On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, authorizing the removal of anyone deemed a military threat from designated zones.
- This order led to the removal of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, over 60% of whom were American citizens by birth.
- Ten camps were built across seven states, with Poston in western Arizona becoming the largest, housing over 17,000 Japanese Americans.
- Doris Kazue Okada was born in the Poston internment camp and spent her first 61 days there before her family's release.
- She later married Robert Takeo Matsui, who also had a history with the camps, and she eventually volunteered for a presidential campaign in 1992.
